Friends

I am so lucky to have a life rich with friends. I am surrounded by so many people who love me, and whom I love. I have a great group of 'old' girlfriends. Those who have been part of my life for many, many years. Some as far back as 3 years old. Some from elementary school. Many from high school. All of them cherished. We shared many 'growing up' times, laughing, crying, sharing, talking, consoling and listening. Many not so smart times, that shaped us and taught us, that I'm glad we 'suffered' through together! We've had babies, bought houses, found parnters, got jobs, vacationed, and put more miles and time between us and our visits. Through it all we remain close. So close I know I could pick up the phone at any time and each and every one of those who 'made it' to this stage of my life would be there. We pick up right where we left off the last time we talked, visited, shared. How special it that? How lucky am I? You know what's even more impressive? That I am lucky enough to continue to make new friends at this stage in my life. Friends who may not know my history, or I there's, but who are becoming as important, as special, as those from before. Friends who will share my current history, as it's made. Who will create a history together with me, intertwined like those of my past. Who will be there to enjoy, console and support me through this chapter of my life. Pretty impressive. Pretty awesome. So, so lucky and blessed. I love you, my friends. Those old, those new, and those to come. You are cherished.
